I’m not seeing a discount, in fact I’m paying a premium to fund schools, roads, fire & police protection for mainlanders.

With regards to a road maintenance rebate; HOAs may not use the town to plow their roads but they use public roads to access the HOA, shop, etc. how do you calculate the tax rebate? Everyone must have a GPS tracker to monitor usage? Tracking vs Live Free or die!! Hmmm who do you think wins?

If you feel that your property is over valued by the town have you filed for an abatement?

I had that issue in Gilford and brought them several comps from their website and they reduced my assessment. Remember, the assessment is done by humans that make mistakes!

Seems to me that a private road isn't much different than a driveway, albeit a sometimes long driveway shared with other owners.

The city won't plow a private driveway either, will they?
